The North Face Does an About Face

As a follow-up to my entry yesterday about the questionable set-up for picking up race packets for The North Face's Bear Mountain 50, the company is now allowing racers to pick up packets at the race start/finish area the day before the race.

While it's great they saw the error in their ways and made the steps to correct it, it's still a shame that it took several irate runners to voice their complaints in order to get them to do so. I can only imagine they had no choice to do otherwise and it's a shame it wasn't THEIR first choice to begin with, one that should have been obvious.

But to their credit, they did correct it. I'm still leaning towards not running the race though. I'm still a bit sketched out.
